What is Zoning?

FreeAdvice.com defines Zoning as "...the way the governments control the physical development of land and the kinds of uses to which each individual property may be put." In Wisconsin, Zoning laws can be determined by Counties, Towns, Cities and Villages. Before you purchase property, be sure to know how the land is Zoned, so that you know what you can and can't do with your land.
When you are looking at land - ask your Realtor about how the property is Zoned and for the County and Local Zoning Department websites and/or phone numbers.
